The Memorial Park Fitness Center offers many ways for Houstonians to beef up, slim down, and otherwise improve their physical states while having fun. Weights, treadmills, and stairmasters are available, and you can arrange for time with a personal trainer. During the swimming season, morning lap swimming is scheduled prior to the opening of the swimming center for general use, and showers and lockers are available. The charges for use of this excellent facility are much lower than at privately owned gyms. The friendly staff is waiting for you!
Besides the Memorial Park center, thirteen Houston Parks and Recreation Department community centers offer weight-training facilities, and many feature an indoor gym and aerobics classes. Hours of operation vary by location and season, so call the community center nearest you for information.
